So I cloned Radeks kernel from github, and also the one from goldelico.
And wanted to cherry-pick linear charging, only to find out that it is
already there, see:
https://github.com/radekp/linux-2.6/blob/v3.7-gta04-qtmoko-v56/drivers/power/twl4030_charger.c

So question to Radek: are those actually the sources used to build
qtmoko v56? Because I don't see
/sys/bus/platform/devices/twl4030_bci/lin on my device.

I don't know if there could be other reasons why I don't see lin on my
device.
